Staffing

As we close out the school year and look forward to the 24-25 SY, we are in the process of having individual staff meetings. These meetings are designed to reflect on the school year, discuss areas of support and their future plans for the 24-25 SY.

The next step in this process is to send offer letters to all staff members the first week of May to either extend or conclude their employment contract with SACS.

Lastly, we have registered for several job fairs to recruit new teachers and fill vacancies. Our next two recruitment opportunities take place on April 17th and April 27th. A member of SACS leadership, teachers and other staff members will be in attendance.
